Teaching Philosophy
As an arts educator, my responsibility is to ignite a spark in my students. No matter their story, fostering a safe space for young artists to freely express themselves is essential. The experiences and skills developed would be nurtured to thrive beyond the arts, which is needed now more than ever. Their voice is the center of the narrative.
